Johnny Cash - Missouri Waltz lyrics

rate me

Hush a bye my baby slumber time is coming soon

Rest your head on mommie's breast while daddy hums a tune

Are the old folks were humming the banjos were strumming

And the soft breezes sigh as in days long gone by

Way down in Missouri where I heard this melody

When I was a little fellow on my mommie's knee

The old folks were humming the banjos were strumming so sweet and low

Hush a bye my baby go to sleep on daddy's knee

Journey back to Dixie Land in dreams again with me

Oh, it seems like your daddy was there once again

And the old folks were strumming that same old refrain

Way down in Missouri when I heard this lullaby

While the stars were blinking and the moon was shining high

Are the old folks were humming the banjos were strumming so sweet and low
